The Adolescent Health Partnership Project (a PIPPAH grantee) | HOME |
With funding from the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau, the AAP is expanding its promotion of adolescent health issues. The AAP is one of eight funded Partners in Program Planning for Adolescent Health (PIPPAH). The PIPPAH grantees are developing activities to elevate adolescent health within their own organizations and in collaboration with each other and allied health professional organizations. The AAP Adolescent Health Partnership Project will focus on promoting and improving adolescent health through the AAP membership, other PIPPAH grantees, and other collaborative national organizations including those involved in the National Initiative to Improve Adolescent Heath (NIIAH) by 2010.
